You've identified two types of information: "Russian propaganda" and "Normal/neutral information sources". Are you aware that there is a third category: "Non publicly-released information"? There is a small demographic of HNers who handle that third information category regularly.

It helps to have coworkers who are ex-JSOC, or ex-NMCC intel briefers ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Military_Command_Cent... ). I'll let them know that the conclusions we've drawn mean we are clearly the victims of Russian propaganda. They could use a good laugh.
